Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add a discount or promo code text overlay without covering the product?

Use guided prompts to place copy in safe zones (e.g., top-left badge or bottom ribbon) and adjust opacity or outline for legibility. For creative ideas on highlighting features with text, see our tips on engaging product-feature ads.

Can I keep overlays consistent with my brand guidelines?

Yes. Set your brand fonts and HEX colors once, then reuse them across campaigns. You can also build layouts inspired by templates and refine them per product line. Learn how AI helps standardize visuals in this guide to AI-powered product images.

What image formats are best for ecommerce posts?

PNG is great for sharp graphics and transparent elements; JPG helps reduce file size for web and social. If you need branded thumbnails or open graph images, try the meta image generator to quickly create on-spec assets.

Can I generate overlays for multiple SKUs at once?

Yes. With batch generation, you can apply one prompt across many images, review variants, and export selected results in a single download.
